The Higher Power Prayer

Higher PowerHere with me nowHumbly I seek your grace.All in your careYour will be doneThrough me as it is through others.Give me today hope and courageTo forgive all past transgressionsAs I surrender my fears and resentments.And strengthen me against temptationBut free me to let go control.Fill my spirit with calm, and compassion, and clarityTo carry to others.Amen.

A Few Words About The Higher Power Prayer...

The Higher Power Prayer is humbly offered as a gift to the recovery community and to anyone seeking a non-denominational alternative to the Lord’s
Prayer.

The Higher Power Prayer is –
to pray to the god of your understanding –
to place your will in the care of your Higher Power –
to ask for guidance on the path to recovery –
to pray as an alternative to the Lord’s Prayer –
to find strength and calm in the midst of fear and confusion.

The first line of the Higher Power Prayer may be substituted with your name for your god, such as Dear God, Divine Mother, Great Spirit, Heavenly Father, Holy One, Inward Light, O Goddess, Sacred
Creator, Universal Source…

The sounds, rhythms, and a few of the words of the Higher Power Prayer are intentionally
a close match to those of the Lord’s Prayer, so that people may join together in prayer,
each one saying the prayer of their own choosing at the same time without disturbing
one another.
